17:25 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Following two promising opening runs at Leopardstown, PROXIMA CENTAURI can gain a first career win. Short of room at a crucial stage before finishing well for fifth on her debut in July, the Jessica Harrington-trained filly went two places better next time. The form of that latter race was boosted subsequently when the winner followed up in a Listed contest on Champions Weekend. The 80-rated Varner will find this easier having been highly tried of late. Well beaten in a Group 3 race last time, the daughter of Elzaam should find her level. Down Royal runner-up Reponse Finale stepped up considerably on her first start when only narrowly losing out. Granted further improvement, the Kevin Prendergast-trained filly should go close.

The Leopardstown race PROXIMA CENTAURI finished third in has worked out nicely so from the inside stall, she's taken to get it right. Response Finale and I Can Imagine are probably the main threats unless there's support for a debutante.

This can go the way of the well-bred PROXIMA CENTAURI (nap) whose latest form has been boosted and she can continue to progress

Kevin Coleman, who struck with a similar type here last week, can win with ELUSIVE DUKE. Runner-up at Cork on his debut last month, the form of that race has worked out quite well. Although unproven on the Polytrack, the son of Elzaam should have every chance of acting on it. Mighty Day has plenty of experience which should stand to him in a race of this nature. The James Barrett-trained colt did little wrong when finishing second in claiming company on his latest two starts. While a mark of 73 leaves him vulnerable to an improver, the U S Navy Flag colt won't go down without a fight. I Am Me shaped with plenty of promise when second at Roscommon back in May. Although absent since then, the Donnacha O'Brien-trained colt should hold strong claims.

I AM ME made a promising start at Roscommon in May and if all is well he should have more to offer, so gets the vote over Elusive Duke and Mighty Day.

Quite competitive, with the vote going to I AM ME, despite the colt being absent since a very promising debut back in May

18:30 Dundalk Handicap 7f  Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Three times successful here over the minimum trip, MEHMAN can gain a first victory over 7f. A revelation on the surface a couple of seasons back, the five-year-old returned to something like his best when winning on turf at Naas in May. However, following a really promising first try over this distance at the Curragh last weekend, the gelding looks ready to add to his career tally. First-time blinkers should also benefit the Gerard O'Leary-trained gelding. A five-time winner over a mile here, Punk Poet has also won at this shorter trip on turf. While the additional furlong would be preferable, the seven-year-old is unlikely to be far away. Prisoner's Dilemma, who returned to form here last month, should also be competitive.

PUNK POET had an excuse at the Curragh last time and is on a good mark returned to a track he's tasted plenty of success on. Recent Laytown runner-up Not Forgotten has a pretty solid AW record and is second choice ahead of Michael O'Callaghan's Rockbury Lad.

PRISONER'S DILEMMA gained a 4th C&D win 3 weeks ago, has a better draw (1) this time and the form has been boosted

David Marnane's progressive three-year-old TOKENOMICS can follow up his recent Curragh success. A dual winner in July, the gelding ran a respectable race in mid-division at York the following month, before resuming winning ways last time. Stepping back up to a mile should suit the strong travelling son of The Great Gatsby. Proven on the surface, he should go close off a 4lb higher mark. Blues Emperor makes a first visit to Dundalk since finishing fourth on his racecourse debut back in 2021. A proven performer in premier handicap races, the top weight has his burden eased somewhat by the 10lb claim of Patrick McGettigan. A three-time winner at this venue, Ferrybank is sure to make a bold bid from the front.

BUCANEER'S SPIRIT is on an upward curve and had something in hand when landing a Navan handicap last time, so he gets the nod over fellow last-time-out winners Shigar and Tokenomics in a tightly knit affair.

The form of SHIGAR's latest win is working out nicely with those filling the places both winning since and he's only 4lb higher here

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

It is surely significant that apprentice title contender James Ryan has stayed loyal to AREANA. Third on her recent stable debut for Conor Maxwell, the five-year-old travelled into the race easily before her effort levelled out inside the final furlong. While she may well have just needed that run on her first start since February, dropping back in trip looks a wise move. Ryan will most likely ride a waiting race before delivering the mare from off the pace late on. Top-weight Lohengrin also enters calculations along with Koniag.

AREANA is well treated on her best form and should strip fitter for her encouraging debut for this yard here a fortnight ago, so a chance is taken on her to get the better of the likes of Lohengrin and Church Mountain.

She's still a maiden but the unexposed HARSEVA has run with promise in h'caps this term and her latest run is worth forgiving

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

A maiden winner on good ground at Naas last season, SHAYZANN has reached the frame in a couple of decent handicaps this term. Although well beaten on his sole previous visit to this track, that was in a Listed race and the son of Shamardal should go very close back in calmer waters. Three-time course winner Squire Danagher is sure to prove a serious threat. Andy Oliver's gelding ran well in the Red God handicap here in August, before winning on his return visit last month. A previous winner here, Burren Song arrives in good form having finished runner-up at the Curragh recently. James Ryan's 3lb claim brings him right into the equation.

BURREN SONG ran a cracker behind Polemon at the Curragh last week and could reverse placings back on this surface having run plenty of good races here. Squire Danagher is establishing a good record at Dundalk also and has to be respected. Aidan O'Brien's 3-y-o Psalm seems sure to be popular.

Last weekend's Curragh winner POLEMON can follow up off a 4lb higher mark

20:30 Dundalk Handicap 12f  Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Runner-up over course and distance last time, MISS PALOMA can go one better. The Henry De Bromhead-trained mare, who has won twice at this track, ran a solid race when just finding one too good on her most recent visit. A strong traveller, the six-year-old should get a nice tow into this race. Lightly-raced on the Flat, Eastmore has to be of interest on his first start on the Polytrack surface. Having shown little on his first few runs over hurdles for Charles Byrnes, the gelding hinted at a revival when second at Down Royal recently. Natural Ruler, who finished third in a slightly higher grade here last time, should appreciate stepping back up to this trip.

The well-bred TIDING was below best on his qualifying run at Navan 3 weeks ago but that came over further and, having shaped with plenty of encouragement at that venue previously, Dermot Weld's 3-y-o could be worth chancing to quickly get back on track making handicap debut. There is plenty of depth in opposition, dangers headed up by Natural Ruler, Miss Paloma and Bright N Shine.

Preference is for MISS PALOMA who has good recent C&D form and has a good draw for a prominent racer

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
